This day in Tumblr Survivor History

A wild Jefra Probst appeared in your favorite Tumblr Survivor tags (all 2 of them) and promised to give players a great online Survivor experience....

Of course people didn't think this ‘experience’ would live up to all that promised seeing as how Jefra Probst was Laure!  I mean if you aren't smart enough to know two tribes are voting you out in one night how can you host a season?  That part didn't matter, all that mattered is that Game of Thrones was on, and to celebrate it Laure decided to break the glass ceiling (which apparently bans locations that aren't real, even though she was allowed to host Newfoundland which no one can prove exists) by hosting a season in the Sapphire Isles.

Is there actually sapphires on the Sapphire isles?  No not at all, but I will tell you what was there: one of the greatest (and craziest) casts and a game of moves that were so eradicate and unpredictable that if one factor was changed the game would wind up totally different.

The events we all know:

Masen disguising himself with the fakest name of all time, but still managing to stay in the game a whole 2 days before removal (even though you’d think Laure would have caught on since she’d been aligned with him in Ireland).  Long live Violet Tesla.  

Danny being forced to play as a female and then becoming the first boot.  He would later return to Maluku to finally be himself, just to be first boot again.

Maria being cast super last minute.  Jack being happy his friend was in the cast so he’d have an ally.  Jack going to exile where he helped Emma find her idol.  Emma using that idol to create a rock scenario just for fun.  Maria being the first Tumblr Survivor contestant to be rocked out.  In the rock draw she was against Nicole and Jessica, 2 returning players.  All your fault Jack.  Of course we know the legend of Maria.  The rocks only made her stronger as she’s never been voted out and FINALLY won in her latest season Matsu.

Jack creating 4 different alliances in the first week, and having one of them turn on him because he didn't talk to them enough.  Thanks to votes from Wan, Mikey, and the male returning players Greg got voted out, which lead to one of the rudest exits in Tumblr Survivor history.  Benji liked his post.

Nicole drawing rocks to keep the returnee alliance together on Galladon just to turn around and flip on them next tribal after the tribe swap.  Did she do it because she felt she had no place in the Katie and Jessica alliance, or was it because Dylan and Foxx were the baes?  We still don’t know.

Katie quitting to save Jessica mid tribal council.  Still controversial as without this event the whole game would have been different.  Some say Jessica still isn't worthy of the title of sole survivor because of it, but Jefra Probst says it’s A Okay.  Katie returned in Chief’s Island where she seemed to be lost in a pre-merge limbo.

Nicole having the power to send a Selwyn member to exile island to keep them safe from the vote, and instead of sending away one of her fellow Galladons she sent away Jack, who was almost the recipient of a major blindside. If it wasn't for this Nicole could have come to the merge with more options.  Michelle and Emma were both expendable and voted out of Selwyn making Nicole and Jessica the last two remaining females at the merge.  Michelle returned to play Matsu Islands.  

Dylan being super hot, but unable to prevent his own demise as the war of returning players + Foxx and Wan vs newbies + Nicole waged on.  Though we did have more time with him as a tie occurred at the final 9.  

The island of ties and lies as this season never had a true unanimous vote, and a lot of this is due to the ‘rules’ idol.

Foxx declaring to his fellow contestants that messaging him ‘what does the fox say?’ is no longer funny.

Owen vs Jack, Jack wins somehow.  Owen never forgives Jack.  Jack cries later.

Andrew playing a great game and then losing hope at Robot Unicorn Attack

Jessica coming into the game declaring it was just to have fun, Jessica in the minority writing in confessionals about how everyone would pay for their betrayal, Jessica winning the title of sole survivor.  She went on to play in Adversaries where she got 10th.  Jack answered jury questions about the type of gifs he put in the tag, and his Tumblr Survivor game play hasn’t recovered since.  Jack went on to become Layla Johnson.  

Also there was some even that took place with an idol that had special powers

It isn't hard to see why Sapphire Isles made #1 in the Tumblr Survivor season’s rankings podcast.  Thank you guys for the great year of memories during and following this season!

To commemorate the anniversary LHAP will do a Sapphire Isles reunion podcast.  If you have any questions you’d like answered please PM them to Laure.

Okay so there’s been a lot of Sapphire Isles love lately so I made this for fun!! I don’t have a photo of Andrew, Wan, or Greg but everyone else should be on there.

We’re a season of cuties and I loved every part of this game! (:

Owen's Day 30 Confessional

[jefraprobst-blog]

Day 30-35 Confessionals (The Final Confessionals)

Andrew

SO BASICALLY WE DECIDED THAT WE WERE GONNA VOTE EITHER JACK OR JESS OUT RIGHT

so naturally, Mikey Owen and I separate from our little fivesome with jack + jess, and we create a fivesome with foxx + wan. usually i would say i don’t give a shit who goes, as long as its not me, but tbh rn either jack or jess have to leave for us to advance bc they’ve had like 4 idols between the two of them, one of them has been voted out, the other’s been almost voted out like 2 or 3 separate times, and they just have a really compelling f2 story, you feel me

so the plan for our new f5 is that owen goes to jess and tells her that the newbies + me are all voting for her tonight. this is just to get jess to play her idol, bc jessica does trust owen, so she’ll most likely follow owen’s words bc she’s been able to trust him up until now and the way he did it seemed genuine. so after that, jess thinks she’s going home, so she obviously plays her idol. in reality, the 5 (3 newbies + me and owen) are planning on voting for jack. jack, to my knowledge, still thinks the plan is to vote out wan. SO If this vote turns out *exactly* how i expect it to, Jessica will be playing her idol, i’ll receive a vote from her, Wan will receive a vote from Jack, and Jack will get the rest of the votes from the new 5 alliance. by the end of the night, both idols would be gone, and we would be in a final 6.  (our original plan was for me to drop an “accidental” vote in the group chat (i did that once in s5 lmao, except it was an actual accident (#votedoutthatnight)) that way it would seem like a huge mistake on my part, while throwing off the other side as well as revealing what we’re planning on doing for the vote) (tbh we’re not doing that now bc it seems kind of extraneous bc owen did a great job of making it seem like he’s with jack and jess, as well as being the middle man between the two of them)

tbh i’m HELLA aware of the risks of this vote; if anything goes wrong, i could very well end up on the jury tonight. worst case scenario is that foxx and wan are actually playing us and are with jack and jessica. in this case, i’d be gone, both idols would still be in play (with a third one on the way), and owen and mike would be up a creek. another thing that could go wrong is if jack and jessica actually talk before the vote. they could compare notes and know that jack and owen never did talk about the vote beforehand, know he’s full of shit, then both play their idols or something like that. tbh these are like post-apocalyptic scenarios that may or may not happen but i’m just a huge fucking paranoid pessimist so i think worst case scenario fucking constantly so you know (but aNY SINGLE ONE OF THEM COULD HAPPEN)

oh yeah, the other part to our little plan is that i’m gonna talk to jessica a little bit and drop hints that i’m flipping really subtly. and you know how jess is literally the nicest person you will ever meet??/? and you know i’m “fake Dx” and sorta pleasant? so like me and jessica are having this like passive-aggressive-off bc i’m like “yeah…. voting people out is the unfortunate part of the game :/” and she’s like “yeah….. it’s great that things have gone so great for us this far :)” and it’s one of the best things that has happened to me in the game, it’s just really fucking funny. both of us probably think we know more than the other person, and someone’s about to get a rude awakening after this vote. i really love her tbh, like she’s such a sweet person, and the fact that i’m technically not lying to her about this vote gives me some solace tbh

also i hope my game isn’t totally ass fucked by this risky game move and that i can wake up tomorrow in the game with another returning player gone *relieved skype face thing* so hopefully everything goes well

oh and tbh, everyone here thinks i’m so nice and lil miss nice bitch don’t exist, kittens ;~) [ask owen about it, he’ll know what it means lmao]

Jack

This week has been hell. Owen, Andrew, and Mikey are guranteeing themselves 7th, 6th, and 5th place by what they are doing. All they had to do was stick with us until F5, then flip, but no, they think it's better to get us out now. The stupidy on this island is at an all-time high. Foxx, Wan, Jessica, and I have made a F4 deal. Owen, as of right now, thinks he is blindsiding me with this vote. He's being a little too cocky. As of right now, Foxx and Wan are double agents, feeding all of the info to Jessica and I, so I'm sure they are with us. The vote should be, as it stands right now, 3 votes for me, 3 votes for Owen. They are trying to get Jessica to waste her idol, but it's not working. I am also giving my special idol to her as a safety precaution. If I get voted out, the idol is dead, and I don't want that to happen, so I'll give it to her, and if I stay, she gives it back. I don't want to use the Special Idol, because than Owen would be safe, and I don't want that to happen. It's gonna be me or Owen, and I am willing to take the risk. Stupid People...STUPID PEOPLE.

Jessica

Ahhh so now we’re at a really dangerous point in the game. There are clear divides being formed (Owen, Andrew, Mikey being the main one) and they need to go. I would have felt bad before about voting out  the three of them (even though I’d have rather gone to the final four with Foxx and Wan anyways) but now that they’re targeting me and Jack, this makes it easy to vote without them being bitter because hey, they were targeting me first!

I think if I can make it to the final four, then I stand a really good shot at winning. Wan would definitely take me to the end because we’re really close and he’s a complete sweetheart and I think he really trusts me which is good!! I still think Jack would take me (even though everyone said they’d want to see me win and wouldn’t want to see him win) because he’s been sticking with me this whole time (sharing idol clues and whatnot) and I’d be really surprised to see him cut me at the last second. Foxx I’m not as sure about but I think at Final 4 he’d target Jack over me and we could just force a tie and hopeeeeefully get Foxx out then :p I must admit, his game has certainly impressed me (and I out of all the newbies, him and Wan were definitely the two I got to know best) but I think he’d get a lot of jury votes over me and let’s face it, his strategic game so far has been pretty good.

The worst possible scenario would be if at Final 3 (assuming it’s me/Wan/Jack), I won immunity. I’d hate to have to make that choice - I absolutely adore Wan and Jack but I’d rather stick to my Final 2 promise over taking someone I’m really close to but haven’t made any deals with. I think Wan kind of assumes I’d take him because he doesn’t know Jack and I have a deal and I’d just rather not have to deal with that problem haha, too many hurt feelings and what not.

Even if I do end up with fourth or something, it’s been a really good season. I think my game has improved a lot since the first time I played and I’ve definitely had to work to stay here with all these ties and what not. Hopefully I make it to the end though!

Wan

I’m really looking forward to the challenge answer. This could very much determine my game moves after this. I cant really predict what the tribe answer would be because most of my chat with them are more on the fun stuff and the question is soooooo NOT. So i’m out of this challenge, most of my answer are random too. Besides i dont really think i even know how to answer it. All of them are mostly nice to me and nobody actually hurt my feelings. In fact i think that i’m the one who annoyed them….. wait a second, why didnt i just wrote my name down? Shit!!! Well i’m still out anyway, to late. Mikey so sorry but no hard feelings ok. Now we have to sides and i’m guessing that i’ll be the swing vote again. (if they didnt plan to make me feel that way and ALL OF THEM actually planning to get rid of me of course). Good thing bout this is i’ll probably be safe, bad thing about this is i’ll pissed the other sides. But i dont really have a choice, jess has the idols and she trust jack more. She also said that if i send her to exile she would give me the idols if its still there and if she find it, and if she dont she will share me the clue and help me find it. I dont really buy it but it will show her that i trust her and if she didnt do what she promise i can always use it against her. Beside, idols can only be played to make it until the final 4 only right? As long as she dont want to vote me off until then i’m good. I just want to make it far in the game cuz i will miss talking to them. Kinda contradicting since to stay longer in the game i’ll have to vote one of them off. U GOTTA LOVE THE UNIVERSE.

Jack

Why do I even both making alliance pictures? Jessica informed me that Owen is planning on flipping, just to make a big move. Jessica and I are gonna get Wan and Foxx to break up the Solid 3 of Andrew, Owen, and Mikey.

Foxx

 So I decided to pick up Jack and Jessica's offer and us three and Wan will hope to go to Final 4 with them and vote out Owen or Andrew next. Owen and Andrew don't seem to be all that solid and Jack and presumably Jessica both have idols. Plus, Andrew has shown himself to be unreliable in the past. I think I've overestimated Jack's gameplay. Outside of idols, he really hasn't done all that much and hopefully I can use Jessica as a shield. I think in a Final 2 scenario I could beat most anyone remaining except her, but I'm looking at taking Wan to the Final 2. I think I have better relationships than him and people (rather unfairly) seem to attribute him as some sort of follower. Plus I could be seen as relatively loyal as well. I just hope Jack/Jessica keep their word. But right now they seem to be the best choice.

 If things appear as they seem I could become the HVIC. (Head Vulpine In Charge)

Andrew

so the night of the merge i was gonna send in a like 7 page confessional of me saying “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS” bc i’ve never made the merge but it’s like too late at this point smh i’m sorry everyone

hey so that thing at tribal the other night was hella scary tbh. my bae owen almost went home and that wasn’t too cool. wan ended up flipping on the mentagon, and i saw it coming from a mile away. i actually asked him before the votes were due what his actual plan was and he was hella ominous about it, but it was clear that he was voting with dylan, foxx, and nicole. his justification for making this move was “hahaha :D” and i’m kinda confused about that tbqh. #TheMentagonHasFallen and dylan ended up leaving, so everything turned out well for us. also dylan’s a class act like thank you for leaving the way you did, you’re respectable tysm

so this means that the new majority alliance is myself, Owen, Jack, Jessica, and Mikey. Foxx, Nicole, and Wan are in the minority. jack was hella pissed that wan flipped and was like “omfg should i go off on him after the vote” and i was like fUCK YES DO THAT SINK YOUR OWN GAME BAE but yeah he kept it brief and refined and it was basically just like “this alliance is through.” sooooo yeah. things aren’t looking great for nicole foxx or wan. tbh if the tides are turning against wan i’ll make a shitty graphic, i’ll make up a nickname for his alliance with the galladons, idc i’ll do anything it takes to generate an us vs. them mentality bc that’ll be better for my game in the long run

tbh though i had to Hella lie to foxx again when the votes were being tallied. like he was trying to recruit me for his minority newbie alliance and like…. i’m good thank you tbh. like i’m pretty confident that he’s done the same thing several times here and it’s just like. idk.. he pitches the same thing every time and if it didn’t benefit me then why would it benefit me now you feel? idk it’s just that i’d rather be with the returning players for now (this and next round) and then maybe i’ll make more moves that require me to shake a few alliances up, but rn isn’t the time i don’t think. but yeah like he was saying “it’ll be you, me, dylan, nicole, wan, and mikey and we’re voting owen” okay like First of all, you’re targeting my f2. Secondly, you’re claiming that you have two people from the mentagon (mikey and wan), you’ve never really talked to mikey about strategy (to my knowledge) but wan has been shady as of late and i’m confident that you do have him but you’re just assuming you have mikey??? i mean idk. and plus nicole called me annoying one time last season so. alSO i’ve talked to dylan like three times so like?????? SOrry brah?????????? i like you but that offer is not advantageous to me you feel?? [it would be dumb of me to be like “no, fuck you” so ofc i’m gonna be like “ok i’ll think about it!!!” then blindside you tbh like that’s teh only way you’re not gonna pull any funny business] and i noticed that when i brought up the rules idol he was like “yeah. we can split the votes if you want.” bc like i already knew that either him or dylan had it but i just wanted to see what he would say. and usually all you have to do is say “split the votes” to the newbies and they’ll shit their pants with excitement about being part of a strategic move and it’s like halfway cute and halfway stop, you feel me. but this time he was like “yeah vote jack if you want” Like????????????????? shat kind of fucking plan is that???? you four (five with mikey (who you don’t have)) vote owen and i vote jack??? idk just having been seen as in the ‘middle’ all game, it’s interesting to note different ways of how people try to get you on their side. some work, some don’t, and some are just stupid like why would i go with you. but yeaH

so i’ve been busy and i missed the fucking immunity challenge and i feel like trash, but wan ended up winning, meaning that our choices are either (A) foxx (B) nicole, or (C) turning on the 5 person alliance (the fantastic five (what happened to the shapes (this is inconsistent))) so C is probably least likely bc it was just established and it’s a little bit too vicious to start fucking each other over now tbh. i mean, if it happens to me i’ll tip my fedora at them but if not then like cool ty so i think we’re voting nicole, at least that’s what everyone says they’re gonna do

also!!!!! you know how i’m like hella swing vote andrew this season like. if i get to the end of this game and i’m sitting with owen or someone, and i made it All The Way to The End of the MOTherfuckiNG game and i don’t get any votes bc people perceive that i’ve ridden his coattail the entire game????? i will be highly upset. (i’ll also be highly fucking upset if i talk about f2 rn and then get voted out tonight kms) i won’t be a happy camper tbh like that would kinda suck to go out premerge twice then to lose in the finals you feel?????? well first of all i have to fucking make it there obviously but i’m just thinking like whenever we go into a tied vote, everyone’s like “andrew, go with us. you can’t win against jack and owen,” and YEAH like i know stuff that they don’t know that might make them not say that, but what if what they’re saying is actually true? like no that’s not about to happen. my objective is to go as far as possible with my returning baes and turn on them when i absolutely have to. and now is not the time. there are too many people that could brutally fuck my game over still in the game (foxx, wan, nicole, jack, jess, etc.) to make a huge move rn. i have to get comfortable by eliminating some of those players that i have no allegiance with and then work on getting some of the bigger sharks out of the tank you feel #gameanalogies

so yeah the plan rn is to vote nicole and stay with the fantastic five. then later on me and owen will probably move around a little bit and see where we end up, jury or final two

Foxx

I'm kinda nervous about losing this challenge. I'm a clear threat and our intended target Mikey is..less so. I think I'll have Wan and I vote Mikey and maybe Wan will lend me his idol if I play the right angle. Let's see how it plays out.

 I am so fucking scared right now, yo. If the others wanted to, they could totally take me out because I don't have an idol and I'm a huge threat. If things turn out bad, I could totally be a goner. I'n trying to form a counter measure with Wan to see if we can work things out.

Jack

Tonight's vote, is going to ignite a fire in some way or another. Everyone in the Eliminators is voting for Mikey, as am I. Mikey is voting for Jessica, because he is convinced she is going. But to be completely honest, both of them are not going tonight. Jessica is playing her idol, Wan is playing his, and I am playing mine which means the two people with the majority vote will be immune and we go to a revote. Jessica played her idol, so the only votes in play are for Mikey, so he is immune. So the only person eligible to be voted out on the revote is Foxx, so he is automatically voted out. I mean sure, Wan is going to be pissed at me, but that's understandable. I manipulated him into playing his idol on himself. Manipulation is fun! I have never had this much fun playing Tumblr Survivor before. I am so glad this season is just falling into my arms right now. All I have to do is make it to the end and I believe I can win and be the Sole Survivor. I am so close, I don't want anything to go wrong now.

Wan

Well, well!!! I couldnt believe it. It happen, i was contemplating that jack would used the idol on mikey to vote someone else out. Lucky i have the idols and was cautious the whole time. Let give it for paranoia and to much thinking to keep you alive (cheer). If i were to give my idols to fox then no more confessional. I feel bad that i didnt, but he is Spencer. Even if i sit with him in the final 2 i will lose for sure. Now my only hope is to wins immunity or separate jess and jack the jack and jill twins. If that happens i might still have a shot.

  Fox was voted last time. With fox gone i’m probably next. Mikey is feeling that jack saves him although jack didnt actually care for him. He plan to get fox out with the sapphire idol with jess. If all 3 of them join together than my last plan would go back to my initial plan which is winning immunity (which with planning to go on a trip and all would be hard to do). So i need some leverage that would make them want to take me to the final 2 or at least vote somebody else before me. I confronted jack on the moves he make to vote fox out and ask if he’s gonna bring mikey to the end (which i really want to know whether mikey or jess) but of course jack say something else. He said that he still want to bring me and jess to final 3 (which i dont buy and i dont want). What i want is to break jack and jess up and try to put the target out of my back. So i told him that he takes out fox cuz he’s spencer and he’ll win for sure if he make it to the end but he need to consider that there are one more person who might win for sure if make it to the end. That person is jess who is equivalent to tasha who are likeable and strong in competition. I dont know if he buy it or not but at least i plant some doubt in his mind. To mikey i just told him that nobody respect him if he keeps on following jack orders and jack didnt actually saves him instead try to secure his position in the game. His respond kinda make me feel bad cuz he said that we are just using him and he say that we think he’s expendable. I feel like such a bully. I never really meant to hurt his feeling. I mean i still try to talk to him even when i wasnt in his alliances and when andrew was in exile. I really hope that he wont think badly of me, i want to try and stay as long as possible but i still believe that they might be some ways i can take to not hurt others so much. To jess i just act like i was a goner and presumably accept my fate that i will be gone after this. I find it interesting that when i didnt push so much time will settle the rest of my problem. Well its not like i lie to any of them, just cold hard fact and a little exaggeration to sting them a little. Besides, opinion is not a lie is it? I hope i survive another tribal and make it to the end. It was fun to know all of them and i will try my best to be here as long as possible to keep playing with them.

Jessica

Soooo I forget the last time I wrote a confession…. it was a while ago oops.

The last vote went as planned which was awesome!! I think Foxx respected it as a game move more than anything and understands why it had to happen which is great. His jury quote about me was awesome and hopefully shows that he’s still a vote for me to win if I make it to the end.

The only problem now is getting to the end. Right now, the only person who I think might take me to Final 2 is Wan, solely based on the fact that we’re pretty good friends and have been this whole time. I’m still kind of sort of hoping Jack would (especially if I can convince him with the jury responses Wan got that he has a tonne of votes on lock already) but with literally everyone telling me “don’t trust Jack!!” it’s kind of hard to think that if he wins that last immunity he’ll take me to the end. Mikey definitely won’t take me but he’s also probably the best person for me to sit next to at the end so that makes everything a bit of a dilemma. Do I vote out someone who would likely vote for me to win but also is the only person who’d take me to the end? Or do I vote out someone who definitely won’t take me even though they’re probably a guaranteed win if I sit next to them?

I guess my best strategy for the next two tribals is win immunity and hope I pick the right person to sit next to me. If we’re playing flash games, I think I stand a good shot (none of the remaining guys are too great at them) and if I can make it to the end, I think I can speak better than the rest of them & hopefully sway the jury. From the looks of it, I have Foxx/Owen/Andrew as votes automatically which means I just need one more vote to win. Nicole seems to like Wan (despite the fact that he said they literally never talked?) but if she’s just going to vote for him based on that, that’ll be really disappointing, especially when Wan’s strategic game was pretty much “do whatever Jessica says”. I just don’t want to take another really likeable guy to the end and lose because of it again, especially when I’ve worked so hard to get here :p

I think I could still get Jack’s vote no matter what, he can be a bit emotional sometimes but I hope he would still vote for me even if I vote him out because lets face it, he knows that him and I did the best job out of everyone left. Mikey I honestly have no clue where his vote would go - Wan honestly played the exact same game as him so maybe he’d vote Wan? He seems to think Jack is some saviour after the last vote (even though we both came up with that plan…) so chances are I’m not getting his vote regardless. Dylan is being ridiculous right now with his jury statements and if the only reason he won’t vote for me is because he thinks I should’ve been voted out, I’ll be really disappointed because that’s honestly a horrible excuse. I’m not the one who decided I should stay, I didn’t ask Katie to quit - these just happened to work out in my favour and I shouldn’t be punished because of it. I’ll just tell him that you’re supposed to vote for a winner based on overall gameplay, not technicalities that were out of their control, and if he isn’t even willing to consider my gameplay then he’s a weak player and a weak jury member. Except maybe I’ll word it nicer…

Right now, it’s looking like the best plan is vote Jack out at this tribal, pray that he isn’t going to be super bitter, and win immunity/take Mikey to Final 2. Ughh it kills me to see someone whose game isn’t super strong make it that far but I’ve always said that your placement doesn’t define your strength as a player and it certainly holds true to this season.

Day 25 / 26 Confessionals

Wan

I dont usually cuss like breathing but this challenge changed me. Not only that i dont have enough time to practice but my keyboard is making me harder to win this challenge with the missing “u” letter. I dont want to be the first jury member if possible. There is so many things that are still uncertain for now. I hope the winner will send me to exile, that way i can be safe and i can determine what to do after the tribal. Its also easier since i can ascertain who should i side with and i can still retain some loyalty to certain people since they dont know where i stand yet. (Which is myself of course). Now to find a way to execute the plan. How?

Mikey

I am so happy I made it to merge, I actually couldn't believe it at first, this game is going by really fast. Our final five of Wan, Myself, Jack, Owen, and Andrew is going great and it seems like Andrew and Owen want to take me to f3 which is also very cool. I hope people would vote for me at the end, I have to be aware of who I vote out, when I do, and my resigning behind it, because peoples votes are the most important part now, not just winning challenges.

Foxx

 Merge is here, so glad I made my landmark by getting this far. This is were the game gets serious. My first move was to contact Andrew and show him the chats from Jessica that he and Mikey were not in fact in the supposed Returning Players' Alliance. He stated, correctly, that I had been honest with him throughout this game and I said Nicole could corroborate my story. He said he liked me a lot, especially how I conduct myself professionally. Owen said much the same, but I think he's pandering for jury votes. He straight up told, Dylan, apparently, that he was among the first to go. Well, bro, the game's not over yet. Don't try to outfox me, bro; especially when I have tricks up my sleeve. So Andrew seems to believe I'm telling the truth, it SEEMS. I don't know for sure. If he were to join with us, it'd be to my advantage. I tell him what's up, act buddy buddy, and bring someone in to verify my story is true. No lies, not bullshit, just the truth. It worked with Wan and it hopefully will work with Andrew. Do I trust Andrew? Yes. Is he honest? No. I trust him because I think I can create a narrative that will make him feel his best move is to be loyal to me. You can't trust people 's character all the time. You can, however, trust their instincts. He 's a creature of instinct. It was in his instincts to oppose us, now it's in his instincts to work with us, hopefully. This hame is good, hopefully it comes out in my favor.

Dylan

We merged, and on some level I’m happy but there’s also just a level of frustration right now, kind of like that sad gray raincloud just hovering over my head right now.

The plan was for us to send Jack to Exile so his idol would be neutralized at Selwyn’s Tribal and that Emma, Andrew, and Mikey would ban together and vote out Owen. WELL, this plan was CONTINGENT on Nicole using her TWO letters to write to Andrew, telling him that the returning players are just using him, which they are, and Emma, telling her to work with Andrew and Mikey and she can flip to us right after the merge. Well it turns out, Nicole sent NEITHER of the letters, and Emma gets voted, we accomplished jack shit (no pun intended) and dig ourselves into an even bigger hole because before, we had options. If we merged, we would’ve just needed to flip one person, out of three, Andrew, Mikey, and Emma, that’s it! So we wanted to have the most options on the table just in case it turned out that Emma was actually working with Jack and Owen. Well it turns out she WASN’T. And all we would’ve had to do was send her to exile, save her, she would’ve flipped at the merge, we would’ve had the numbers no problem. We are so STUPID. We overthought it WAY too much, and now, our game is contingent on Andrew flipping on the returning players. So basically, we let Jack get a free pass to the merge, with an idol, so now we have two idols to worry about, one from Jessica and one from Jack.

The problem with getting Andrew to flip is that he wins the plaque for ‘Most Complacent Player’ of the season. I feel like he’s fine with getting fifth or sixth place, like he’s okay with that, I feel like. It’s like trying to flip Natalie Tenerelli, things like that don’t happen. And Mikey is just floating along, probably just doing what Andrew wants so not only are we dealing with Natalie Tenerelli, we’re dealing with Ashley Underwood and we have to flip both them to our side…. (moment of silence).

The only upside, literally the one patch of sunlight in this whole scenario is that it makes sense for Andrew to flip. you know, Nicole has proof, she has chats of the Jess and Katie talking about using Andrew and then discarding him so that right there should be enough for him to hate those guys and come onbard with us, especially with someone he likes, like Nicole. So all in all, it’s greener grasses, like the As Told By Ginger Theme Song. But then again, it made sense for Andrew to vote with us on Selywn, considering OWEN BLINDSIDED HIM IN HIS LAST GAME, but not only did he not vote with us, he RATTED US OUT TO OWEN. So this is not the person I would like to have to rely on as  swing-vote to pull a big move.

A few days ago, Nicole actually showed me the letter Andrew sent her about wanting to work with the returning players and use Mikey and Wan as free votes, which basically spelled out his true loyalty to the returnees, at this point. So what I did, and Nicole doesn’t know this, is go right to Wan and showed him that letter. Why did I do that? To make sure that Wan has more loyalty to me than he does to Andrew. And it’s worked, Wan actually wants to take out Andrew now, but we have to talk him down to it, but it just goes to show that all Wan needs is proof in writing, and he’s sold, as he should be.

Owen actually came up to me, and it seemed like he might’ve had this attitude, this air of arrogance and asked if I wanted to talk to him about the Greg vote. And I told him straight-up because I do not care, I was like I’m not stupid, I knew you and Jack were going to run straight for the returning players come the merge, and take me out once you had no further use for me, like I’m not an idiot. And his response was gold, it was “well I won’t confirm or deny” which is basically him confirming that I was right! So then, he has the audacity to tell me that I’m going to be one of the first jurors. What? Who does that? He must be feeling really confident in his place in the game to openly tell me I’m in trouble. My take is that he thinks he has Jessica/Jack/Andrew/Mikey/Wan with him for a majority. In reality, Wan is with us, and he’s not budging and we’re going to give Andrew and Mikey a really great reason to flip, so his place isn’t as secure as he thinks, in my opinion.

This game is never over. Things look pretty bleak right now but, you never know in this game how big a difference a day makes. I think it’s going to be absolutely possible to flip Andrew and Mikey, it makes sense for them to flip. From a completely objective, unbiased POV they should flip. Because why are you settling for 5/6/7th place when you could win? That trio of Jack, Jessica, and Owen is airtight. Our alliance has some wiggle room for them, and I think they could realize that.

If we could get Andrew and Mikey to flip, we have 6 to 3& 2 idols. We could split our votes 3-3-3, and have a really good shot at being able to flush an idol or get rid of one with a power player all together. It’s just all going to depend on the willingness of Andrew and Mikey to make a big move so… I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m on the edge of my seat. It’s truly time to start playing SURVIVOR, and I’m all game.

Emma

welp i was voted out i wasnt honestly surprised the group dynamic was always wonky but after talking to owen for a while before the vote it felt pretty clear that i was getting the axe and i just came to terms with it since i knew that tribe was in a desperate need of powershift that i couldnt pull off

Jessica

What Emma was cheering for me?? I swore she hated me, damn I wish we could’ve been better friends!

Hopefully I play something with her again in the future!

Wan

So, this is the first vote after we merge. I think if emma is send to exile maybe things will work out differently. I mean i truly like fox and dylan, i dont know if they like me or not. Maybe they think that i’m a fake but i do like them. I dont know what kinda beef they had with jack and owen since they kinda hellbent on destroying each other. If possible i dont want them to go. I would rather be the jury than make somebody hates me intentionally… But this is survivor and i need to tough it out to stay as long in this game as possible. If i didnt do that, then i’m not worthy of playing this game. Now i know that it really is hard to vote someone out when you already know them for quiet some time (and i’m not even fucking close to them, the hell?)

Jack

Wan is being REALLY suspicious. So the returning players (aka me) came up with a plan that might work. We are all pretty paranoid about that idol that was hidden in the rules. We don't know if it's real, and that's scary. I haven't confirmed the plan with anyone but Jessica but here it is: The Gargoyles and Medusa are gonna all vote together clearly. We were originally going to split the vote 3-3-3, 3 whoever, 3 Dylan, 3 Foxx. But now since we are thinking Wan is going to flip, the returning players are all going to vote for Nicole. We'll still pull up the plan of splitting with Wan and Mikey, but make them vote seperately. The vote should end 4-3-1-1. UPDATE: Owen and I discussed and we have a better plan. The returning players+Mikey are voting for Dylan. We're telling Wan to vote for Foxx, in the small chance that he might flip. Andrew is pretending to be with the others so he can find out who they're voting for. We want to play an idol on whoever they are voting for just in case.

Jessica

Okay so basically this is going to be a Tumblr Survivor first for me…. I have no expectations for this vote and no idea what is happening at all. Normally, I at least have some idea of how things will turn out and I’m either right or I’m blindsided, but at this point I think literally anyone could end up going home (except me obviously so yay).

Right now, the Returning Rhombus alliance is trying to pick who to vote for. They know Wan isn’t voting with us (he was super obvious about it plus him and I planned for him to stick with Galladon) and they assume Mikey is so we think that we have five votes. Originally they all wanted to split the vote but obviously we don’t have the numbers for that anymore plus it just takes one person flipping to completely ruin it so instead all five of us are voting for one person. Obviously, I want Dylan to go home. Out of Nicole/Wan/Foxx/Dylan, Dylan is the only one that doesn’t talk to me, doesn’t attempt to strategize, and has made zero effort to get me on his side at all. I think Foxx is smarter than Dylan so him getting out of the game wouldn’t be a terrible second choice but he at least talks to me so I see a potential partnership down the road if I need it. Wan and Nicole are supposed to be leaking information to me from the other side but I don’t fully trust Wan and Nicole hasn’t been online which is making me nervous because I can’t protect her from my group if she doesn’t let me know what is going on :/

Ideally, Dylan/Foxx/Nicole/Wan think that they have one or two more people than they really do and they split the votes for Jack/Owen under the anticipation of one of them playing an idol. That way no one from my side goes home and hopefully Dylan does.

Foxx told me earlier that he has the rules idol but he was so goddamn suspicious about it that I have no idea if that’s true or not. Honestly, as long as Jack and myself stay, I wouldn’t 100% be upset with someone else from my alliance leaving. I love Andrew/Owen and I want them to go to the end with me, but I also know at one point I’ll have to cut them, and as long as Jack and I still have two idols then I think we’ll be okay. I’d still rather have this not happen though.

The best possible vote would be Foxx playing an idol, 5 votes for Dylan, 2 votes for Jack, and another 2 votes for Owen (that seems to be who they all want to go home the most). I could easily see Mikey flipping as well though and all five of them voting together in which case we’re screwed unless we decide to use one of our idols and I’d really rather keep mine in case I lose immunity.

If I had to bet money, I guess I’d choose Dylan as the most likely person to go home, followed closely by Nicole (which I don’t really want but if that’s what my alliance wants, that’s what we do) and Jack (if our plan gets messed up). Jack is the only final 2 deal I have in this game (Sloppy Seconds alliance yay) so that would be an absolute disaster if he left.

Also can I say that at least being an underdog, I have people cheering for me?? Like even Emma is and I swore that she hated me haha, guess I was wrong about that!!!mk

Jack

 This week is making my head spin. I'm sad to see Katie go, but in reality, she wasn't going to make it to the end anyway. I know Katie, that's not what she wants to do. She wants to help the people in her alliance, and that's what she did and I love her for it. This twist with Exile is kind of alarming. The game can go any way now. If Selwyn wins, it's the better situation. As of right now, we want to send Wan, so Jessica plays her idol, and Nicole/Foxx/Dylan will play their rules idols, flushing the rules idol. That's what I want to do. People may think I'm a selfish bitch, but that's because I am a selfish bitch. At the merge, I want to have the only idol on the island. I'm just that greedy. I hope Foxx goes, only because I like Dylan and Nicole more. I never really wanted to turn on Dylan in the beginning, but he was influenced too easily not to trust me, which was the worst thing he could have done. I love Dylan, he was definetly my favorite out of the 3 who turned on me. I hope he found the rules idol and makes it to the merge, because if it's Foxx who has it, I will be disappointed. Now, this whole week can go to hell if Galladon wins. Knowing how "power hungry" Dylan, Foxx, and Nicole are, I know they will send Emma to Exile, to try to break up the returning guy players, where our alliance has become very obvious. If that situation happens, Mikey will have to be cut, and Wan will definitely not come back to The Mentagon, join with the 2 Gargoyles and Medusa. And to top it all off, there is the possibility Emma will flip. It will be Emma, Foxx, Nicole, Dylan, Wan against the rest of the Returning players. Something I do not want to happen. I have to go on an immunity streak at merge. I know it's not possible, but I can try.

Foxx

 Whoever wins immunity tonight could change everything. If Selwyn wins, depending on the highest scorer, Jessica can be exiled and our alliance will be forced to turn on each other. Otherwise, we cod be facing a potential Idol. I have no idea if Jessica has the Idol or not. If we win and someone other than Jessica has the highest score, we can choose to send either Jack or Emma yo Exile. Sending Jack neutralizes the Idol and mayhaps could lead to an Owen boot. If we Exile Emma, the pairs of Jack/Owen and potentially Mikey/Andrew could be forced to oppose each other. Consequently, an Idol could be played and Emma will be safe to potentially join our foursome, giving us a majority. It's safe to say I am in a very tenuous position. If things work out, I can potentially be the singularly most powerful person in this game. That's the payoff. If I make the merge I will show Andrew the chats from Jessica in which I managed to trick her into revealing her boot order. With this information, I can potentially crush the returning players' alliance come merge. I have a lot of resources at my disposal and I need to know how to best utilize them. I've had people on my tail since the first Selwyn tribal and I've been able to storm it. I want to calm the storm, please. I want to win; I want to win perhaps too much. I probably won't have much friends after this, unfortunately. Kinda sucks because I seriously don't want to hurt people's feelings unnecessarily. I'm a nice guy; I just want to play a game, yo.

- - -

Right now there 10 people left, 2 tribes of 5. There are seven men and three women. Overall, I like my tribemates. Here is a summary of my opinions in them. Dylan-A pretty cool guy. I trust him and I think he trusts me. We've been allies since Day 1 and we just shoot the shit, make jokes, and strategize with each other. He's a huge threat in this game: he's charming, strong, and smart, but overall I'd rather have him on my side than not. I like him. Wan-He probably gets along better with me than anyone else and he seems to trust me, moreso after the last vote. While he can be very nervous and indecisive, he's a super nice guy. Nicole-She is really nice and a good ally. She has a nice sense of humor and seems to be a savvy player. Plus, she's cute. :) Jessica-While she obviously dislikes her current position, she has been a very good sport and has being genial to everyone before and after her blindside. If we were in different circumstances I'd love to work with her. I 'm curious about what the other players think of me. I don't have much of an idea. I don 't think I've been especially objectionable to anyone.

Andrew

*When asked about Emma's Role in his plans*

me, jack, and owen were just talking about that omg. basically the game as of right now consists of two alliances: the mentagon and the terrible trio reincarnated. the mentagon is me, jack, owen, mikey, wan (we're assuming), and jessica is an honorary member (like galladon just voted her out so she's obviously gonna come with us you feel) and the terrible trio is nicole, bradley (foxx) and jake b (dylan) that leaves emma tbh. like she has zero ties with nicole, dylan, and foxx so she is probs with us, but we tried to vote her out at one point so like???? personally, i have no idea where she stands or how she'll fit into the game, but i'm thinking she'll add an interesting dynamic to strategy later on, down the line. i'm thinking she'll probably come in 6th or 7th, but idk tbh we'lL SEE

Jessica

Weeeeell even though the last time i submitted a 2 am confessional it turned out to be embarrassingly wrong, I’m doing it again because why not!

Also I was cast as a villain previously because I was a strategic villain, not a social one. Not so much the case anymore and if people get offended reading this down the line, too bad. If you want people to submit nice confessionals about you, maybe don’t vote them out twice in a row and lie to their face, hey? I feel like this is stupid to include because clearly any decisions/opinions I make are game not personal (you’re voting out the player, not the person, right?) but a lot of them have never played this game before so I understand mixing up the two.

this is more fuelled by general annoyance at everyone than anger but whatever, it’ll do Katie justice :D

First of all: literally what the fuck. Why do so many people want to vote out Katie when she has explicitly said multiple times that she will step down at fourth place and let everyone else in her alliance go to the end? Like, are people stupid? Putting her fantastic loyalty and great friendship aside, she is literally the perfect ally. Yet time after time, people keep voting her out and it’s like ???what. yes let’s vote out the one person who WANTS FOURTH PLACE like are you mentally deficient KEEP HER AROUND. Unless you also want to place fourth, there is literally no reason to vote her out if you’re tight with her. *cough* NICOLE *cough*

Secondly: Foxx. This guy is fucking unbelievable. Like I actually thought we had a decent connection - not best friends or anything considering as neither one of us wanted to include the other on the vote but we were decently getting along, I told him I didn’t plan to vote for him over the next few tribals and genuinely meant it when I said I wanted to keep him around. Then I go to him after the first round of votes, kindly asking why he did that and could he please not vote me out and he sends me this rude as fuck message that’s like “u told me you had an alliance with the other tribe!!1”. Yeah okay buddy except no. My legitimate loyalties were to Katie, Nicole, and Wan, with Foxx being secondary but I still sort of wanted to try and turn the other guys against each other before voting him out because incase you didn’t know, I don’t take the fucking easy ride to the end. Hopefully he’s out ASAP so I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

Then you have Dylan who immediately runs and complains that I was kept in the game and how it’s “not fair”. Suck it up, maybe you should’ve thought of that when Katie said she would quit if y’all didn’t vote to keep me in. If you don’t like that it’s “unfair”, then you can quit and make my life a whole lot easier.

Next is Wan. Wan, buddy…. what the hell. I was actually pretty honest with this guy, I didn’t tell him absolutely everything but I had a plan to save him and he goes and votes me out. Then when I’m like “hey can you please keep me, I really did want to work with you” he fucking votes for me again! Like sweetie no. Again, someone who I would’ve given an idol to if they needed it and now that bridge is burnt.

Then okay let’s look at the tribe chat. You have me going to Foxx and Dylan, saying I’m not bitter/angry (which despite the copious swearing in here I swear I’m honestly not and in all fairness, I was targeting Dylan) but they aren’t even responding at all. “Hey guys i’m going to play my idol next tribal so one of you is going home maybe you shouldn’t have voted me out twice, anyone want to strategize since I’m a free fucking agent???”. No response. “Hey guys just thought I’d lay out my strategy so y’all can know what was happening and we can all be on the same page and maybe work together as a team moving forward???”. No response. Like hello what are you doing, someone is trying to make amends and you’re putting in no effort? Maybe the passive agressive bitchy smiley faces I put in weren’t enough to hide the fact that I’m not impressed with these guys

It kind of sucks since it’s an absolute last resort, but I guess come merge, I’m working with the returning guys. I don’t mind it as much now because it’s not me taking an easy ride to the end (which is what I reaaally wanted to avoid because that’s boring as fuck) but I would have rather played the game with Katie, Nicole, and Wan. Nicole now wants to do like some “secret alliance” or something moving forward which honestly could work but like girl you gotta earn my trust back first, you don’t vote someone out two fucking times in a row and then say “hey yeah let’s make a final 2 deal” like it takes a little more than that :p

Yeesh okay I’m not even halfway done, this is really season 5 style confessionals

Okay. SO. Moving on from the fucking fiasco that was tonight, things are not looking so bad for the foreseeable future. Katie is gone, which absolutely sucks because she’s the one person I’ve played with who has never lied to me and that I’ve never lied to but it’s so incredibly sweet of her to quit rather than have me gone. I feel like Tyson now in BvW, I have to win for the both of us or else it was all for nothing!!

If we lose this challenge, I don’t really care, because I think anyone on the other tribe (except Emma) would send me to exile to be safe. I’d prefer if Dylan or Foxx went out on that vote but it’ll probably be Wan or Nicole which sucks but I’m not too sympathetic at the moment :p If Nicole hadn’t just turned on me, I would have 100% given her my idol to make sure she was safe if this happened but now it’s like nah girl you’re on your own.

After this vote, I am fairly confident we’ll merge at nine people. If the other tribe loses, hopefully Emma gets voted out because again, I don’t think she’ll work with me, but really as long as Jack is safe then I think I have a fighting chance.

I’m tired of getting blindsided, I’m tired of people lying to me and backstabbing me before I get them. Time to go back to Season 5 style Jessica and prove to these people why you don’t fucking do this shit

Just as the true Chaos Queen once said, “I’m not fucking sweet”

Foxx

So I'm really nervous because I pushed for Emma to be exiled so she can work with us post-merge, but the logic for sending Jack was sound enough so as not to resist. I can live with any other boot target but if Emma is safe after tonight she would have reason to organize with us to take put the Returning Players' Alliance. It's not the end of the world if she's gone, but I want to keep all my options open and have ways to counter them.

Jack

I cannot comprehend why Nicole sent me to Exile, but thank you. Exile Is My Home, so I'm glad to be back. But why? I would assume that she would send Emma, so the guys would have to vote someone out. Then the returning guys would vote out Mikey, and Wan would stick with The Gargoyles and Medusa. And then possibly Emma could flip, and it would be the end for the returnees - Nicole. Once we make merge I would love to find out why they sent me, because I am definitely not working with Galladon.

Andrew

hobo licker??? FUCKING HOBO LICKER LAURE??????????????????????????????????????????????? I’m giving you gold in my confessionals here and you pick ‘hobo licker’?????????????????? you’re clearly just mining for silver [flirty pouty emoji]

jk though hobo licker yeah that sounds like fun go for it #episode5

ok so bbcan has made me notice that a lot of reality show casts have that one token asshole named andrew and that may or may not be me for this season

so we really thought we were gonna win immunity! like forreal we seriously expected to bring home another win but you know. mikey and emma got more than half of the questions wrong in the before/after challenge so i mean….. life

so then nicole got to exile one of us, and i honestly expected every single person on galladon to exile emma if we lost bc like that’s their best chance of getting an extra number on their side??? we just tried to vote her off last time we went to tribal??????? so she exiled jack and idk i mean the vote should be pretty straight-forward; me and owen shouldn’t be going anywhere, and mikey is loyal to our alliance so he should be staying, and emma is *most likely* on her way out. i’ll personally be voting for emma bc i’ve promised loyalty to mikey and i would die before i voted for owen tbh, and i just don’t feel like i owe anything to emma. i have a hunch that if she makes the merge she’ll try to stir some shit up with a newbie alliance like she already tried to do (with me, michelle, and mikey) so she probably isn’t actually pulling for us in the game like she says she is. but the tricky part is that i somehow convinced myself that emma is finna whip out an idol and that she’ll really be voting for owen or i and then we’ll be out and like……………………………………………………………….. kill me like idk what to do. i think the way to go is that we tell mikey we’re voting emma, emma we’re voting mikey, and then owen and i split our votes b/n the two of them just in case emma gets funny and votes for one of us and plays an idol, that way we won’t go home and we can try to vote out mikey in the revote. i hate everything i s2g if i get voted out premerge fucking AGAIN i will shit a brick laure like i’m not fucking kidding i need to make the merge this time >;3

but like yeah! i just started talking to owen and he wants to vote out mikey. idk how i feel about that bc i think mikey will always be loyal to us while emma might try to start shit against us down the road. also before jack was sent to exile he was like “such an easy vote, dont frick it up” and i mean he was probably talking about emma. and i feel like if owen and i frick it up then he won’t trust us as much. beyond that, if we vote mikey out, then the mentagon will be in shambles and wan would probably not come back with us either. emma, on the other hand, doesn’t have any real loyalties to either side bc she doesn’t know them and we kinda tried to vote her out, so i mean. i would be an asshole to think that she would just come along with us to the end of the game and not try to break our group up. BUT if we all vote for emma and then she pulls out an idol, then that would mean the end of the game for one of us. me and owen are conflicted as hell. what i plan to do as of rn is that i’m going to use my letter that i won in the reward to send jessica a message saying “if you have the idol post [message A] in the tag, if you don’t, post [message B]” bc wan sent me a message saying that jess has the idol (which i’d like to believe but he might be lying like idfk) and if she posts that she does have the idol, then we’re obviously gonna pump emma up and vote her out. if she doesn’t? idk murder suicide sounds good

idk i can just taste the merge and the jury and alllllll these possibilities that come with this part of the game, and if we fuck this tribal up then owen and i might not get to experience it, or experience it briefly and be voted out right after everything starts. that would be really disappointing and i just hope nothing horrendous happens

Wan

The last tribal was phenomenal. I kinda betray jess and jess literally come back into the game after 4 votes cast on her. It was crazy! So unprecedented in all survivor history. I mean I’m glad jess is back in the game since i voted her off was because they never explain to me their real plan and put my name in the vote. However, its still crazy. Katie loyalty was even crazier. If i ever meet any people who have the same amount of loyalty as katie is i would flat out marry that person. BOOM!!! No question ask. However, in this game? Really? Wow. I manage to talk to jess and clear things up but who knows whether or not she’s gunning for me? Women scorn, helloo… But i need to give the benefit of the doubt. Why made an enemy if you can make them your friend right? Right? Yeah, still nervous. I send my letter to andrew since i want them to have the impression that i still want to work with them. That way i can keep my option open and have info feed in to me. Besides, if we lose the challenge i want them to save me by maybe sending me to exile since i told them that jess have the idol. Lucky me fox ask me if he can use the letter and while i was asking laure, laure told him that i already send the letter. Now he was like distancing himself from me and even in the chat he was like serious all the time. Somehow we win and nicole was given the opportunity to send one people to exile. Surprisingly she send jack eventhough fox, dylan and even her keep saying that they want to send jack home. WTF? Isn’t it better to send emma and wait for the boys to kill each other? At least we maybe can see the idol being played.After this i’ll know what kind of relationship the selwyn tribe is having right now. Another boomshell, dylan told me that nicole got a letter from andrew and andrew is trying to coax nicole in flipping with them in a 6 person alliance of returning player. Not that surprising, beside whether its true or not is still unknown. How can all this happen when i’m going for my graduation convocation where the place have shitty to near zero internet connection?

Wan

so owen and andrew have both told me that keeping me was good for their game and even owen has approached me with a final 2 and even jack wants to keep me around till merge but now with jack being exiled thats a vote that i dont have on my side but i really feel like i could convince either owen or andrew to vote out the blind puppy that is michael and if i get both of them too thats amazing but even if it ties i feel safe

Jessica

The tribe: We’re so awesome! I love everyone!

Me: Yeah team spirit!

Everyone: ………….

Nicole's Day 20 Confessional

0:00-0:15 lost the challenge

0:15-1:00 It's getting sketchy up in here! I talk to Dylan on call and tell him about how I want Katie/Jess out and want to work with him and Foxx 1:00-1:30 Dylan was super receptive about my plan and I gave them proof about katie playing them. So now there me/dylan/foxx 1:30-1:45 3v3 vote coming up possibly with me/Foxx/Dylan v Katie/Jess/Wan. 1:45-2:00 I wish we would hae kept winning but now that we lost it is time to make a big move! 2:00-2:35 Foxx went to wan and told him that I was going to work with Him and Dylan to vote off Katie or Jess. Now wan might have told Katie that I am turning against them so I am very nervous 2:35-3:30 Dylan and I make a plan. We think Jess may have an idol so the plan is to tell Wan we are voting Jess. If wan is with Jess and Katie, he will tell Jess to play her idol. Jess would play her idol but in reality, Me/foxx/Dylan are going to vote Katie. (3 vote for Katie, 3 vote for Fox/Dylan). HOWEVER if wan is actually with us, it will be 3 votes katie, 1 vote jess, 2 votes foxx/dylan and Katie goes home. 3:30-4:25 Worst case scenario is that it goes to a tie vote and wan hopefully flips over to vote out katie. SO yeah, we are going to get Wan to vote Jess and then our 3 votes will be majority. CRAZY

Day 20 Confessionals

Katie

so we threw the challenge which was cool I was going to submit but SOMEONE tricked me and said the due date was 12am instead of 1030 yeah you know who you are hobo licker. Anyways jess came up with a super cool plan so that we force a tie between dylan and wan (because we think one of the boys on our tribe has the idol that was hidden in the rules) and then we will get dylan out without me breaking my fake alliance with foxx. I'm really excited for this because keeping foxx around longer means I'll finally be able to ask him what kind of animal I am!

Wan

So i was hoping to win this challenge but to my dismay i heard that somebody else is planning to throw the challenge. I don’t really want to believe in rumors but the score kinda prove it. I was never approached by anybody earlier in the game to make any strategical move in the game. So i was thinking its either all of them are together or i’m the swing vote. The only girls that even remotely interested to talk to me was Jess, lets not forget that both Fox and Dylan might be pissed at me too. So my hope was to win tribal immunity back to back. This is when the problem start, we lose. Fox and dylan say that they are not mad at me and jess say that she will tell me if anybody is voting for me. Sound pretty good right? Well… maybe its to good to be true. There have to be a reason if they are willing to throw the challenge. That being said is to remove player that could disrupt their game plan after the merge. The girls want to remove dylan cuz he might have the immunity idols. However, nicole told me that the exact plan was to caused a tie by 3 voting my name and 3 voting dylan. In the event of a revote they will vote dylan out. There is 2 things i didnt like with this plan, first my name are on the vote and if dylan have and played the idols then i’m out. Second i was not in in this plan means that i’m a disposable character. I really dont want to rocked the boat but based on the reaction that i get after talking to jess, she seems like she have some connection to jack and if we continue to the merge like this i will surely be a jury member if not voted out earlier. So really hoping that i survive this one and if i dont just want to say that i love you guys so much. (all of you, seriously)

Foxx

Confessional: After a long period of talking, bitching, negotiating, and sobbing, Nicole, Dylan and. I managed to rope Wan in for a split vote between Jessica and Katie, as Nicole managed to fill us in on their plans. If Jessica plays her Idol then we vote Katie. If not, we vote Jessica. They both think we're working for them, so Jessica managed to spill the beans that she plans to vote out Emma, Andrew, and Mikey out after using their votes and align with Owen, Jack, and Katie post-merge as well as her telling Nicole she has the Idol. Now I can choose to give this information to those two guys and we can form a block to vote out whomever remains after the merge. Let's hope our plans don't fuck up AGAIN. Then this world officially hates me.

Andrew

ayyy!!!! XD kms but yeah like yesterday was hella dramatic bc we tied the vote between michelle and emma, and emma was all set to go home. but then emma comes to each of us individually and makes her case as to why she should stay. her case to owen & jack was like, “yall r powerful and can use me,” her appeal to me was basically, “you and mikey are second fiddles to jack + owen and are just gonna come in 3rd and 4th, i can help you prevent that,” and none of us were really budging. but then owen kind of spoke up, which is hella B), and he said he wanted michelle gone, provided some good points, and we ended up sending michelle out the door (she was extremely classy about it imo). we kept emma basically under the pretense that she’ll be a loyal vote for us. whether or not that’s true will be obvious in the next few votes, but she fucked over the only other girls left in the game and she’s never spoken to any of the boys currently on galladon (except for dylan, but that’s a story for another time) so i mean? i feel like she’s p much with us

i’ve really started thinking about the mentagon alliance and like….. i feel like mikey and wan are down for whatever, boys to the end. owen and i are flexible, like i’d be fine with that if it came down to it. but jack is such a wild card, and i couldn’t even tell you why i think that tbh. there’s a reason i’ve been nervous going to every tribal so far, and it’s bc of jack. at our first tribal, i was scared that he wasn’t actually with owen and i and going to rally all of the newbies to get either owen or i out. at the second, i was terrified that he was just getting us to split the votes so that him, michelle, and emma could get owen or myself out. he’s a really nice person and i do think he’s a good player, but there’s clearly a lack of trust there  tbh i’m really curious to see if jack truly wants to go to f6 with the returnees, f5 with the mentagon, or f3 with me and owen. like he’s so shady i don’t fully believe any one of those things

also owen and i are considering fucking over the returning players post-merge as of right now tbh. like “yeah!!! returning players #f6!!!!” but i mean mikey, wan, and emma would be the perfect group for owen and i to go to the final 5 with. i feel like if we merge tomorrow, we should just get jack and the girls out as soon as humanly possible. that may not be what we end up doing, but it’s definitely a possibility

also it feels good to technically have made final 10 rn bc that’s where i ended up last time and it’d be neat to surpass this placement this time you feel

oh yeah like me and owen though. like we’re really fucking hella and it’s just fun bc people keep on with that “it’s jack and owen to the end” bullshit, like. owen’s a really good actor tbh, i don’t think i could pull that off. it really looks like we’re on opposite ends of the same, forced alliance but nah, we’re going strong with each other until the end of the game. there’s not a lot in the game that you can say with 100% confidence, but that’s one of the most confident things i could say tbh. like we’re truly looking out for each other and we have really good games going so far, so hopefully things continue to go our way. we’re kind of each other’s ride or die, tbh owen’s a bae though #nohomo hahah!!!!! but yeah like he’s a really fucking nice person, and i’d love to be sitting at the end with him, winning or losing (skype sun face thing)

Katie

final confessional: oh man you guys really fucked up hahaha please do your research before starting another season- I am literally known for never wanting to win and jumping ship fourth place so that my friends can win. And because of that I refuse to let jessica go before me she is a great person and has become a really close friend of mine. Thanks Laure for casting me its been a blast! you poor poor ignorant newbs.

Wait, make sure to play an inspirational song

Because it's only fitting that there be a rights of passage for the many alliances that Jack created, named, and betrayed

These are alliances that made Jack happy

Until they fell apart and that made Jack sad

First we must start with the winner of the worst alliance

The Day 1 alliance established by Jack and Owen that had Dylan, Greg, and Foxx.  This alliance didn't even make it to the first tribal council as Greg, Foxx, and Dylan splitered off to GFD.  Their betrayal was paid back with Greg's blood.

To take place in the power position of Selwyn when Five O'Clock Shadow fell, Andrew (who was already with Owen so never in danger from the previous majority alliance), Wan, and Mikey joined Jack and Owen for the MENtagon.  (get it?  Five Men, Pentagon has five sides?  I don't get it either).  It stood strong, but the tribe swap pulled Wan away where he worked with Foxx, Dylan, and Nicole.

During the tribe swap when Emma and Michelle wound up on Selwyn, Jack and Owen created an alliance to make them feel safe.  Of course this was some bullshit as the vote showed the men had no interest in working with the new females on their tribe.  

The Returning Rhombus was the core that kept the returning players going at the start of the merge.  Andrew, Owen, Jessica, and Jack all decided to stick together as returning players up until Owen's blind side.  Nicole didn't count to them since she had flipped on Katie and Jessica Pre-Merge.

The Fantastic Five (Later re-named Five Guys Burgers and Fries) was just the beta version of the Returning Rhombus as it was the same alliance, except with Mikey included as the returning players saw him as a free vote in their pocket to power through the other newbie players.

It had pretty much disbanded when Jack and Jessica absorbed Foxx and Wan to take Owen out of the game.

The Final Four (Also called the Eliminators, idk why because that's cheesy as hell) was another alliance of Jack's that did the rare act of actually surviving through two tribal councils.  With the help of Foxx and Wan Jack and Jessica betrayed Owen, picked off Andrew, but never got to pick of Mikey as they saw Foxx as too big of a threat.

There was also the Sloppy Seconds Final 2 deal alliance of Jack of Jessica that made it to the end, but graphic designer Jack didn't provide a graphic for that.
